2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 2

We’re onto day #2! And I know i’m posting this super late today, but Momma’s been busy :)
Can I get a hurrah for linked short story collections? Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta is a quiet yet decisive book that doesn’t gloss over the first and second generation immigrant experience in Canada. And instead of getting a disjointed look at these experiences through a raft of different characters, we follow one person, Kara…
Just wanted to give a big shout out to all the book bloggers out there that urged me to give this one a go; you know who you are! Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is by far the oldest book I’ve read in awhile (it was published in 1938), but I loved it, so I’ve…
It’s getting to be that time of year folks! December starts tomorrow, and I’ve got my advent calendars (yes, that’s plural) locked and loaded. To mark this special time of year, I’m going to be posting a video each day on my youtube channel until Dec. 25. They’ll be short and sweet, recording my unveiling…
As promised, below is my first vlog marking December 1,and the beginning of my advent calendar unveilings. These are short and sweet videos so they won’t take long to watch every day-because yes, I’m doing this every day until December 25! I forgot to mention this in my video, but the lovely Laura from Reading…
It will come as no surprise to anyone that I’m counting down the days until Wordfest 2017. For my most recent trip into the CBC Studios, I gave my ‘insider’ suggestions of which authors to take in while attending Wordfest this year, as well as getting in a little promo to the event I’ll be…
So I’ve done something a bit different with this Booktube review. I typically record 60 second(ish) book reviews, which is quite challenging. But because I was on vacation when I read these books, I let loose a little and extended my vlog to 4 minutes! (apologies to reading in bed for using the ‘vlog’ term-give…

When you record these videos, are you thinking of me on the other end watching? lol. I ask because I think I’m usually the first one to watch your advent videos (with my husband, of course!). We were talking about your camera–does yours have an auto-focus feature? If so, turn that off. Get your husband to focus for you, or have him sit where you will sit and you can focus, and THEN do your video. That might help with the shifting focus! If you’re not sure, Google your camera brand and the year it was made for help.
Ok this is very helpful!!! I will try this for tomorrow’s video :)
And yes, sometimes I am thinking of you guys watching haha
😘
It’s much nicer in the H&O collection, but here is the/a link for story 2 from the Short Story Advent Calendar 2018: http://thecollagist.com/the-collagist/2015/10/6/slower.html
Thanks Cathy!
Sounds a bit depressing – thank goodness you have the chocolate on hand to restore your joie de vivre! I like the look of that one – does it have a filling?
Yes! The 3D ones have ganache fillings, and they are delish!
Oh that does sound sad. I know anything with kids hits me much harder now than it did before I had one.
me too! It’s terrible actually
